What is the defining characteristic of a heavy fermion system?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Large effective mass of electrons
π‘ Explanation:
Heavy fermion systems are characterized by the presence of strongly interacting electrons that exhibit effective masses much larger than those of free electrons, typically due to the influence of strong correlations and hybridization effects.
